title: Use Middleware to Handle Asynchronous Actions

## Use Middleware to Handle Asynchronous Actions
### Hint 1
Treat the ```dispatch``` argument as a function and pass the action events in it.
### Hint 2
The ```requestingData``` action event will be passed first.
### Hint 3
The ```receivedData``` action event will be passed after the ```setTimeout``` function.
This sequence simulates the process of requesting the data, receiving the data and then dispatching the received data.
### Hint 4
It is important that the ```data``` variable be passed as an argument of ```receivedData```.
### Solution
```javascript
const REQUESTING_DATA = 'REQUESTING_DATA'
const RECEIVED_DATA = 'RECEIVED_DATA'
const requestingData = () => { return {type: REQUESTING_DATA} }
const receivedData = (data) => { return {type: RECEIVED_DATA, users: data.users} }
const handleAsync = () => {
return function(dispatch) {
// dispatch request action here
dispatch(requestingData());
setTimeout(function() {
let data = {
users: ['Jeff', 'William', 'Alice']
}
// dispatch received data action here
dispatch(receivedData(data));
}, 2500);
}
};
const defaultState = {
fetching: false,
users: []
};
const asyncDataReducer = (state = defaultState, action) => {
switch(action.type) {
case REQUESTING_DATA:
return {
fetching: true,
users: []
}
case RECEIVED_DATA:
return {
fetching: false,
users: action.users
}
default:
return state;
}
};
const store = Redux.createStore(
asyncDataReducer,
Redux.applyMiddleware(ReduxThunk.default)
);
```
